RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic prediction of a new indicator, combined by tumor grade and Ki-67, in patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS: Data were retrospectively collected from consecutive patients who underwent primary resection of pancreas from December 2012 to December 2017. Tumor grade and Ki-67 were reviewed from routine pathological reports. G-Ki67 was classified as three categories as I (G1/2 and Ki-67 < 40%), II (G1/2 and Ki-67 ≥ 40%), and III(G3/4 and all Ki-67). RESULTS: Cox regression analyses revealed that tumor stage (II vs. I: hazard ratio (HR), 3.781; 95% confidence index (CI), 2.844-5.025; P < 0.001; III vs. I: HR, 7.476; 95% CI, 5.481-10.20; P < 0.001) and G-Ki67 (II vs. I: HR, 1.299; 95% CI, 1.038-1.624; P = 0.022; III vs. I: HR, 1.942; 95% CI, 1.477-2.554; P < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors in the developing cohort. The result was rectified in the validation cohort. In subgroups analysis, G-Ki67 (II vs. I: HR, 1.866 ; 95% CI, 1.045-3.334; P = 0.035; III vs. I: HR, 2.333 ; 95% CI, 1.156-4.705; P = 0.018) also had a high differentiation for survival prediction. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that three-categories of G-Ki67 in resectable PDAC according to the routine pathological descriptions provided additional prognostic information complementary to the TNM staging system.

RESUMEN

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Its incidence has been increasing in recent years, and it is becoming a major threat to human health. Conventional cancer treatment strategies, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, have faced problems such as drug resistance, toxic side effects and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, better development and utilization of biomaterials can improve the specificity and efficacy of tumor therapy. Algae, as a novel living material, possesses good biocompatibility. Although some reviews have elucidated several algae-based biomaterials for cancer treatment, the majority of the literature has focused on a limited number of algae. As a result, there is currently a lack of comprehensive reviews on the subject of anticancer algae. This review aims to address this gap by conducting a thorough examination of algal species that show potential for anticancer activity. Furthermore, our review will also elucidate the engineering strategies of algae and discuss the challenges and prospects associated with their implementation.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To study the development of surgical robots at home and abroad in recent years. METHODS: Through a large number of literature review and analysis, the qualification approval and technical function characteristics of domestic and foreign surgical robots from January 2019 to July 2022 were analyzed. RESULTS: The related situations of 39 surgical robots were analyzed and reported, and the shortcomings and future development direction of the current surgical robots were summarized. CONCLUSIONS: The development of surgical robots in China is now in a rapid development stage. At present, surgical robots generally have the disadvantages of high cost, lack of tactile feedback (force feedback), large size, large space occupation and difficult to move. In the future, it will develop towards intelligent, miniaturized, remote, open and low-cost.

RESUMEN

@#[摘 要] 目的：构建负载二氧化锰（MnO2）纳米颗粒的可得然（Cur）复合水凝胶MnO2@Cur（简称MGel），研究其对黑色素瘤B16-F10细胞的杀伤效果。方法：采用热诱导法制备Cur水凝胶（Gel），物理负载MnO2构建MGel，表征其宏观和微观形貌，检测其机械性能、降解性能以及光热转换性能等理化性能，并研究其联合PTT对小鼠皮肤黑色素瘤B16-F10细胞的光热杀伤效果。结果：MGel具有优异的机械和可降解性能，抗拉伸强度达（127.97±3.60）kPa、抗压缩强度达（151.44±5.23）kPa，28 d降解率约58.17%。MGel负载MnO2纳米片（粒径约180 nm）获得优异的光热转换性能，负载1.0 mg/mL MnO2的MGel在1.0 W/cm2的808 nm NIR光照4 min后到达最高温度50 ℃。细胞毒性实验和Calcein-AM/PI荧光双染色实验表明，MGel联合PTT有效杀伤B16-F10黑色素瘤细胞，NIR光照使得MGel组细胞存活率降低至（4.68±0.66）%（P<0.000 1）。结论：MGel复合水凝胶具备优异的机械性能、可降解性能以及光热转换性能，其联合PTT能有效杀伤肿瘤细胞，可能成为一种有效治疗黑色素瘤的新手段。
